The Importance of Building High-availability Wireless LANs

The last 5 years of enterprise wireless LANs have enabled IT professionals to push highavailability techniques to the network edge, closer to users than ever before. By overlapping RF coverage areas from WLAN access points, you could provision redundant links to users and increase availability. There were two ways to do this – deploy fat APs with intricately customized configurations or connect managed APs to multiple WLAN controllers in “salt-and-pepper” configurations.

The Future of IT Network Security

whitePaper | July 12, 2021

It’s no secret that the sudden drastic changes in the way we work over the past nine months have negatively impacted user experience and increased cybersecurity risk. IT departments have scrambled to empower newly remote employees, seeking ways to enable ubiquitous application access and improve network performance. But the acceleration of the Future of Work has come at a cost. Business continuity concerns have caused organizations to focus on improving the user experience for remote employees at the expense of security and IT professionals know this isn’t sustainable. Menlo’s new research report captures the concerns of IT professionals at U.S. based organizations as they grapple with the acceleration of digital transformation in the age of COVID-19.

System Integration White Paper

whitePaper | May 17, 2022

Currently, traditional RAN vendors are delivering to operators a ready for deployment RAN solution, which is already fully tested and pre-integrated in their own facilities. Each vendor manages its own lab and testing resources, so that the associated overhead in integration complexity is transparent to the operator. Hardware and software are tied, and product roadmap is built according to 3GPP specifications for radio functionalities. Logical interfaces between subsystems of the radio site are proprietary defined, so no interoperability between different vendors is possible.
